continuing "a session of the Court there.—
Gale was bought up by some lo:al.ad vantage.
The civil jurisdiction of {he County Court
was left to the Legislature. ' Ti e school law
was rendered acceptable, the Homestead and
Exemption clauses were insert* d, and every-
thing doiie to conciliate all sections of the
pro!-slavery Democracy and conservative Re-
publicans'," That it was not the real Demo-
cratic patty that they wished to restore to1
power, is evident from the fact thajt all this
time they utterly ignored the" Douglas Dem-
crats jfrom this saction of the State. Jack-
son, Naramore, Paddocky Good'speed and
Simpson, were treated with contempt. The
Ifeading Democrats in the army from: the cen-
tral and-southern portions of tju? State, were
also openly denounced. McClertiand, Bray-
man, llarris, Morton. Kuykendall, Haynie,
McNiel & sCo., wgre called renegades, from
the parly, who had sold themselves to Lin-
coln and Yates for a coibuiissioin. ' '

We ha^8:had a desperate- jbattle, in which
the borps of Gens, guinuer, iHcihtzalmaii dnd
Keyes were engaged against greitly supierior
numbers; Yesterday at one . o'clock, the
enemy, taking advantage of a teirible storm,
whibh flooded the valley Of the Cl ickahominy,
attacked our right flank. ' Gsn. Casey's
division, which was in the first li ne, gave way
unaccountably. '. This caused! temporary
confusion, during which ^be guns arid bag-
gage were lost; but Heintzlemtri and Kear-
ney! most gallahtly brought up their troops,
which checked the enemy, and at tho same
ti.m6 sucic^ededj by great exertioij,'in bringing
across G^ns. Sedgwick's and Richardson's
divisions, who drojre back the enemy at tho
point of tha bayonet, covering the ground
with his dead. This morning the enemy
attempted to renew the conflict, (but was

McClelj-an^s HeaIiquarteks, June 2
, Two days of thie battle for Richmond have
beeh fought, in both of which we are^tibto-
rioiis. The loss on both Sides is heayy. u
The attach w^s commenced at one o'clock;
on jSaturdayj by Hill's 'division, of five rebelf
br'gades—mbs'ly lfrorii SquthiJ' Carolina,: Vir-;
giriiaj & Georgia-^attackirig Casey's division
near the turnpike leading over Bottom's
Bridge, frhis fight-was disastrous to us, and
Casey's brigade was forced to ret'eat hefore
superior numbers, leaving all their camp
equipage and twelve batteries. Col. Bailey,
in eddeavoring to save the batteries, was
killed. > - *) ."-4'-
. Some qf the jpenn^lva^'a^ ^WYoTk
troops behaved very badly, Many officers
were killed in the aot of attempting to rally
their men. '
Geri. Heintzelman ordered up a portion of
Kearney's lad Hooker's divisions. The for-
mer charged the rebels with the bayonet,
driving them like1 sheep, regaining all the lost
grolund except a half mile", when night closed
thef operations. - «
We have taken some COO prisoners, among
whbm5%re several prominent offieers.^fc^
Sunday,-as soon as- }t' was ligh^Tthe
,t was renewed by Geri. Sumner, with
marked success, the fight lasting nearly ; the
whole day. Thelrfebels were driven at every
point witb heavy loss. The ground gained
by pen. Sumner was about two and a half
miles. ,
Gen. Heintzelman succeeded Sunday morn-
ing in retaking the ground lost the day before
by Gen. Casey, after a severe struggle.
' Our loss in the two days engagement in
killed and wounded is about 200. A great
number are misstiig, Who will probably re.
turn, having strayed away. J All the enemy's
killjed and most of their wounded fell into
our hands.

When we closed our office twelve- months

emblem of a nation's greatness-^-thie . flag
which our fathers won - through blood ai d

flag which all nations honor—the flag under'
which we were1 born and . have -lived forty-:

Coriatl i they concluded, there: w aa too much
exe'-ten ent to do any thing, and so came
away without offering the thousands of our
fellow <itizensan opportunity o F saying what

Thoie of.ua who know the history of thia
matter of srildters vbtirigt*aYe:rit>t"disappoint-

were d jtermined 'he soldiers should not vote,
Twice their committees reported the| thing
imprac'icabie, and it was only when forced
to a vote, on a plan proposed | by Mr. Law-
rence,, of Boorie, that* they jdiscivered a
methoil to do it. And it is curious, that
just as the vote was to bs takin, Starne, of
Pike Ootinty, brought out of his desk a
pfinteil substitute, which thd caucus had
prepared, and this was adopted. It gave the
whole thing Into the hands ofj Hacker, who
was to appoint, as he did, unscrupulous par-
tisans, acctfriipanied by the dou-gV.face Gale to
take the vote or not, as would best secure
the en 1 bad in; view.
We are glad to learn that many regiments
are tal:lng a vote under the direction of their
officer i, according to the method ' proposed
by iMr Lawfence; and will send the result to
the Secretary of the State. This Jione, we
shall s ee what disposition Hacker and Starne
will m ike of the votes when

Mr. Brown was a native.of Andover, New
Hampshire, and in 1854, removed with his
father^ family to Illinois, and settled in the
town of Dundee. He was well known-to all
our ci iizens. For more than two years past,
he wa:i a faithful; and ardent student in the
office, i >f Dr. Merrifield, of Elgin.- J
Altjiough of a dllicate constitution, still
when the war broke cut, his patriotism led
him to take up arms in defence of the Union,
and la; it fall, when the 52nd was forming, he
enlisted and was appointed Sergeant Major
of. th( . Regiment. During t$e winter he
served in Missouri, arid while! the regiment
was atj Smitbland, he was taken with the lung,
fever, land came home. While at'home he
partially recovered, -and just befjre the battle
of Pittsburg Landing, still suffering frOm Lis
recentlillness, but fijred with at ardent desire
to be in the field, he joined his regiment at
Corinth. At the battle he acted as Lieut, of
one of the companies, and perfc rmed his duty
manfully, coming out unscathed. But it was

Wednesday, the 7th, Gofj. Yates made a ;
short address to A5th, in^ which ! he compli-

in the late battle, and said that he had male

in the next battle,' andj for the sick
who were unable to' undi-g> the fatigue
of the field. O'd Dick, as he is familia • y

at 8 P. M., expecting an attack, but it turned ^
out only a scare, bur pickets running back a»

quiet aB usual. The pickets.are now having
skirmishes daily. Yesterday a- number of I
rebw&^rowded on our pickets, when "a few ;
of the boys went out on their own responsi-

in, bringing with him two of his Co., and
said'they had 7 Reg'ts under guard forrefus-;
ing to fight. If we can belie re the reports o f 1
deserters, they are in a poor condition for ^
fighting. : Gen. Ilalleck is> superintending v:
affairs here personally. - In riding by the
fortifications built by the ^5|th, he said they
,were the best on the line. Qur positioB noiw -

cratic patty that they wished to restore to1
power, is evident from the fact thajt all this
time they utterly ignored the" Douglas Dem-
crats jfrom this saction of the State. Jack-
son, Naramore, Paddocky Good'speed and
Simpson, were treated with contempt. The
Ifeading Democrats in the army from: the cen-
tral and-southern portions of tju? State, were
also openly denounced. McClertiand, Bray-

division, which was in the first li ne, gave way
unaccountably. '. This caused! temporary
confusion, during which ^be guns arid bag-

across G^ns. Sedgwick's and Richardson's
divisions, who drojre back the enemy at tho
point of tha bayonet, covering the ground
with his dead. This morning the enemy
attempted to renew the conflict, (but was
everywhere repulsed. We have taken many
prisoners, among whom is Ge:i. Pettigrew

Gen. Heintzelman succeeded Sunday morn-
ing in retaking the ground lost the day before
by Gen. Casey, after a severe struggle.

the enemy's pickets were forced hack,- until
tre are within good thdliitg distance of the.
rebels works, and if they could find Out our •
situation, I presume they would favor ui»
with some music from the heavy pieces said
be pointing towards us ; but oiur Gen's „J
are on the lookout, ready for any such dem- !
onstratton thejr may Shave en- ^
campcd in 7'different places this side of Shi- j
loh, find at each place haje thrown, rip breast-
works, so1 that if the should repel: us, j
we liave lines of fortifications to ; fall back
on. 1 But I hardly think they will succeed fn ;
driving us from the first. This has been
good generalship, as it gives/ the men confi-
dence in their Gen's, and may be ajgreat sav-
ing of llfei All along the roais from here to i;
Shilob, we found i.he remains of the enemy's ;
camps, where-they were previous to the bat- |
tie, on; the 6th of April; also baggage of, J
various descriptions. Artillery, wagons, j
tents, &c., burned or otheijwisejdestroyed, !
showing that tieir retreat could have been .
very easily made a complete rout, if oar
troops had followed them.. At one of our
camps we found nearly a. hundred crave* ;
filled with ithe ;dead from the battle field of *.
Shilob, so called becausejtbe battlecommenc- .|
ed near a log Church by that name, mid.
church being about 12 by 20; with a door in ^
one end, on which some cne has .written ■
"Shiloh Church, where Beauregard attacked
us on the 6th and got badly iwhipped on the j
7th of April, 1862j" whi-h, iif B.,shouldLear

Wednesday, the 7th, Gofj. Yates made a ;
short address to A5th, in^ which ! he compli-
mented i|3 very highly fir the name we won |
in the late battle, and said that he had male
provisions fir those who may be wounce I "
in the next battle,' andj for the sick
who were unable to' undi-g> the fatigue
of the field. O'd Dick, as he is familia • y
calledj is very popular among the-troops.—
On Sat. the 1 Oth, troops were formed in line '
at 8 P. M., expecting an attack, but it turned ^
out only a scare, bur pickets running back a»
the enemyadvanced.Soon; every thing wa» i
quiet aB usual. The pickets.are now having
skirmishes daily. Yesterday a- number of I
rebw&^rowded on our pickets, when "a few ;
of the boys went out on their own responsi-
bility, |and repelled them finelyi Deserters j
arc coming in daily. A few; days ago 80! or *
90 came to Gen. Davis; a ?rorkirig party on
their., fortifications, and' to djay «i Capt. ,came ;
in, bringing with him two of his Co., and
said'they had 7 Reg'ts under guard forrefus-;
ing to fight. If we can belie re the reports o f 1
deserters, they are in a poor condition for ^
fighting. : Gen. Ilalleck is> superintending v:
affairs here personally. - In riding by the
fortifications built by the ^5|th, he said they
,were the best on the line. Qur positioB noiw -
is about North of Corn th, {and within one j
and a half miles of the R. R. j running North |
through Purdy, but is not |in'operation at ;
present Traias on the Memphis road can ij
be heard arriving and departing from Corinth i
daily and almost hourly, either Iringing in
reinforcements or taking troops away; prob- •
ably the former. Weather very warm—as
warm as in July in Nor thern III.' Health of
the troops very good. ;} Fifteenth, ,;

As Gen. Ilalleck has placed an embargo on'
ay mail matter from Within his lines for the £
present, and having an cjpporturiity to send
a letter by the Pay Master, who will mail it- :
in St.' Louis, I write you ohce a^ain, as it- %
may be sometime before l am again allowed1 •
the privilege. We have hadja very pleasant i
trip s'o far. '* The weather is '(very warm, anrf
vegetation much more advanced than with f
you. The Tenr. River is mtch!a-ger than 1
supposed—a dirty bat rapid stream. £he'
boys are all well andi feeling well. It is- ;
strange |U> see how careless land unconcerned '
men will appear, when goin^ by the power of
steam, on, to God knows #bati. Oh f could1
the threatening storm be averted, could the
groans, the dyirig agonieis, the broken, bleed-
ins hearts be spared, what; a shout of joy ,
would go up from the hardy; and careworn
soldier, the fathers and mother8,. the wices
and aiitdreri, (God bless them,) all over tie >|
hnd.' But if it be so ordained,; we poor, weak
mortals cap do nothing in Staying. th« hand
of Providence. But this cloes'console "us—
we are fighting for the rig|it; justice, liberty
and God are with us, and we must be rtf-
signed. I presume we can get letters. Di-
